The problem is that emacs does not know about the location of your file,
even though you are able to locate it on your disk.  Try:

   Ctrl-h v  

This should give you the 'Describe variable:' prompt.  Follow this with
'load-path <RET>' to display a list of the directories that Emacs
searches to find files that it needs to load.

Try:

   M-x load-file

Emacs will display the 'Load file:' prompt.  Respond to this prompt with
the full path to the file that you want to have loaded.
